LOTS DOING ON THE GOLF 'FRONT
Activity is starting to hop on the golf front. First
of all, Exeter Golf Club has its first of six golf tourna-
ments lined up for Saturday and Sunday of this week,
May 30 and 31. You have the option of playing your
game on either of these two dates. Players are asked
to register at Sanders' Driving Range before teeing
off. Also, John Goman, club secretary -treasurer, asks
us to pass on the information that dues .must be paid
to be eligible for tournament play. This means the
first tourney, too! So cough up a duce gang, it really
doesn't hurt.
So far, over 30 golfers have paid their member-
ship fees. This is about half of what was paid up last
year. However, club officials feel that as soon as the
warm weather sets in, and the tournaments are in
progress, many more will join. In fact, several new
golfers have shown keen interest the last couple of
weeks and are eager to join.
We got quite a kick out of playing with John
Goman last Saturday. iYes, we were out on the rain -
soaked course.) John was having a little trouble here
and there with his game and made several comments.
after taking some mighty swings. Finally after playing
a few holes, John couldn't stand it anymore. He asked
us to please have the cameramen removed from the
course because their shooting of his golf game
bothered him;

DUFFERS AGAINST THE CHAMFIONS
Once a year, the duffers of the links, such as you
and I, have a chance to match our skills against the
more artistic club swingers of our great country. This
one big occasion is known as "National Golf Week"
throughout Canada and runs this year from June 7th
to 14th,
Henry Martell, Canadian PGA Champion, and Mrs.
Marlene Stewart Streit, Canadian Women's Champion,
will play an 18 -hole round on Saturday, June 13th,
Martell's round will take place over Edmonton High-
lands, while Mrs. Streit, currently overseas, plans to
shoot at some course in Britain or on the continent.
and cable her score to the Royal Canadian Goll
Association.
Everyone is eligible to play against the defending.
champs. All it costs is $1. Your card is matched
against the two Canadian champions, and if you do
happen to beat them, you will receive a medal marked
"I Beat the Champion." Scores are compared by tak-
ing your net score and champions' gross total. In this
way, everyone has a fair chance. Proceeds will go to
the Provincial Golf Association to help junior golf
development in your own province.
Last year a total of 10,775 participated, and 3,322
of them were from Ontario. A total of 1,188 men and
134 women received special cards last year after
defeating Stan Leonard and Miss Stanhope who fired a
70 and 76 respectively. Well, what do you say? Let's
give our buck to John Goman, and take a whirl at it,
After all, what can you lose? I know, a buck!
RACE DAY FOR. EXETER AND DISTRICT
' There's be more horse meat pounding its way
around the local race track in just eight days (as this
is written) than there has been in the last month. The
big occasion — why of course — it will be June 3, and
that's the date Exeter Turf Club officials have set aside
for their annual harness racing twilight meet. As usual
five classes will be run off throughout the program, '
which gets under way at 5.30 DST.
Exeter turf official. Bill Allison passes along the
Information that practically all the events are over-
flowing with entries. In the 2.30 class, the first eight
are raring to go with four more still eligible. The
2.28 is in the same boat as the first mentioned, only
it has two on the waiting list. Eight horses make up
the 2.25, and the same is reported for the 2.22.
Seven have moved into the free-for-all ranks, with
more expected to arrive before the deadline for
entries turns up.
Notable interest to local horse enthusiasts is that
Dune Campbell, well-known throughout the racing
circles, from Ailsa. Craig, is bringing three of his
horses to the local mee.t Neil McRann, of Lucan, has
registered two, and Clarence Young, also of the Irish
settlement, expects to bring three to the twilight meet.
After glancing over the entries, fans should be in for
a real treat in the entertainment field as all five
classes are showing some excellent taste. We'll see
you up there!
CUFF CLEANERS - - - Anyone wishing to try
their luck in a golf tournament other than our own
this weekend, will be welcome at the Thames Valley
Open in London on Saturday, June 6 - - - Sorry we
failed to mention Exeter Midgets at the recent Exeter
sports banquet in which Montreal Canadien's Doug
Harvey was present. Our local midgets ran into a little
rough luck this winter and failed to win anything.
However, the boys did their best and, after all, that's
what counts most! - . - Any players or coaches who
didn't pick up their crests at the minor sports dinner
Saturday can get themfrom Exeter Rec Director, •
"Moose" Heideman at the local arena - - Anyone
Interested in flying to Cleveland on June 7, can get in
touch with Bob Russell. We )understand he's trying to
get a plane load. 'Yes, you guessed it! The Yankees
are there for a doubleheader! - - Hope New York
doesn't take any more than two games from them! -
M far as we're concerned, the Tigers and Yanks are
far from finished yet! - - Exeter Lawn Bowling Club
opens up on June 2 _ - Should get around: and try
your handat the game. It's much the same as curling
or bowling. The difference between lawn bowling
arid alley bowling is that you can't take a head pin.
Brother that would be heaven, wouldn't it? - -All.
Minor baseball schedul=es will be drawn up in Seaforth
arena this Friday night at 8.00 p.nr.
